Zhang Haijun: drive more villagers to get rich together

Grapes covered with branches, fresh pollution-free vegetables in the greenhouse, golden carp in the pond. During Lesser Heat's season, Wufu Farm, built by Xingyang Wufu Agriculture and Forestry Professional Cooperative, has become a good place for tourists to go on holiday and leisure.

In the autumn of 2012, Zhang Haijun, a returning entrepreneur from Shifang Village, Gaocun Township, Xingyang City, set up a cooperative and set up a farm in order to make a good life for everyone, which completely changed the lives of the villagers.

Because of his poor family, Zhang Haijun, who was born in 1960, shouldered the heavy burden of his family early. More than 20 years of struggle and hard work abroad have created his strong and unyielding character. The experience of working and doing business made him a new type of farmer with new ideas and new ideas.

With a growing income, Zhang Haijun has always been concerned about his hometown. In 2012, when he was doing business abroad, he seized the policy opportunity of land transfer, signed land transfer and employment contracts with the village, transferred 500 mu of land from the villagers, set up cooperatives, set up farms, and developed agriculture and forestry industries.

Zhang Haijun took the farm as his home and devoted himself to the construction. In the past, the yellow grass slope turned into a golden hill. Over the past four years since he returned to his hometown to start a business, Zhang Haijun has invested more than 6 million yuan in planting trees such as Koelreuteria paniculata, ash wax and Fatong, as well as fruit trees such as organic grapes, peach trees, apple trees, pear trees, soft-seed pomegranates and various green vegetables. Nowadays, cooperatives take sightseeing ecological agriculture as the main fight, characteristic catering, membership-based green vegetable distribution as the main line, and leisure tourism to drive the related industrial chain. Zhang Haijun told reporters that the next step will be to sell the characteristic agricultural products of Wufu Manor to the whole country through Internet e-commerce.

Large-scale production has not only changed the traditional farming mode of Shifang village, but also changed the development consciousness of local villagers. Zhang Haijun said: "large-scale production has not only solved the employment problem of local surplus labor, but also led a group of people to engage in scientific farming and found a good way to increase villagers' income." All the labor used in Wufu Farm comes from the village.

At present, Zhang Haijun's greatest wish is to expand and strengthen his industry and drive more villagers to become rich together.
